Hey everyone,
Just to make sure I understood everything that we just discussed in tutorial, I've got a few follow-up questions:
1. We are now focusing on the fact that there are opposing social forces (ie religion vs. media) that are telling us different things about virginity and thus people are confused as to how to interpret these messages.
2. Are we still sticking to the progression part of the progression vs. promiscuity, because we argued that people have choice now in whether they want to have sex before marriage or not?
3. I know we said that the majority of the video will be focusing on the double-standard of virginity and how it creates confusion, but how are we going to relate it to the broader sexual culture?
4. I think our key message at the end is going to be something to the effect of: as with most things that are socially constructed, your personal opinion on virginity is a product these competing forces and so it is unique to each person.
5. I'm not sure how we decided to end it; is there a solid concluding or lasting statement we want to make?
1. Yes our video is now trying to capture the complexities of virginity and how different aspects (education, government, media, and religion) are constantly pulling in different directions which impact individual's perceptions of it.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, I believe we are sticking to the progression portion of, but I am not sure if we are actually coming out and saying that during our video. So far, Ashley and I have not directly said anything about progression vs promiscuity.
3. I think we should get together sometime at the end of the week to discuss what exactly the take home message is and whether or not we want to state it in the video or leave it open to interpretation (because virginity is extremely individual)
